Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 large bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
Instructions
- Mix together the honey, lemon juice, sage, pepper and garlic in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade to use for basting later. Marinate the chicken with the remaining liquid in a resealable bag for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
- GRILL METHOD: Heat one side of a gas grill to medium heat, keeping one side cooler. Grill the chicken thighs on medium for approximately 5 minutes on each side, taking care not to let the sugars burn.
- Move the thighs to the cool side of the grill and baste with the reserved marinade. Cover the grill and cook, basting every 3 to 4 minutes, until the thighs are cooked completely through, about 10 minutes more.
- OVEN METHOD: preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a cast-iron pan on medium-high heat and add some olive oil. Place the thighs skin-side down and sear for 5 to 6 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and transfer to the oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
